Many Hear Mrs. Chapman for First Time
' ' a. I. w. ' -K
The concert given tit the Helllg last
night was well attended and the pro
gram was enjoyed. Mrs. Pauline Mil
ler Chapman came as a surprise to ihany
who .heard her for the first time. ' Her
voice la advertised as a mezso-soprano-dramatlo,
but it seems to partake more
of the contralto quality and is. almost
contralto in Its ranee.' Her voice Is of
beautiful, rich quality,' with a good deal
or resonance, good volume, and - orii
liancy. Her tone Is full and well
rounded and expressive. She some
times lacks smoothness in her transit
from low to high notes and there is t
good deal of sameness in her singing,
which could be corrected with further
work. Mrs. Chapman' voice is a nat
ural voice, not one that has been made
by constant training. - She signs nat
urally and with ease and her faults
could doubtless be easily overcome with
continued practice. Altogether she has
one of the prettiest voices heard In
Portland for a long time, a voice quite
wen worth Keeoing ana wonting witn.
Mrs. ChaDman first sana a aroun of
German -' songs and "Margarethen's
Wlegenlled" (Grieg) showed her ' Voles
witn us gentle, quailty at its best.
"Im Herbst" showed her low notes to
advantage, though It is on her middle
notes that she gets the prettiest tone.

"What shall I eat 7" is the dally In
quiry the physician la met with. I do
not. hesitate to nay that In, my judg
ment a large percentage of disease is
caused by poorly selected and improp
erly prepared food. My personal expe
rience with the fullv cooked food, known
aa Grape-Nuts, enable me to speak
freely of Its merits.
"From overwork, I suffered , several
years with malnutrition, palpitation of
the heart, and loss of sleep. Last sum
mer I was led to experiment personally
with tha new food, which I used In con
Junction with good rich oow's milk. In
a short time after f commenced its use,
the disagreeable symptoms disappeared,
my heart's action became steady and
normal, the function of the stomach
were properly carried out and I again
slept as soundly and as well as in my
youth. - - -. . ' -. -.
"I look upon Grape-Nuts aa a perfect
food, and ho one can gainsay but that It
has a most prominent place In a ra
tional, scientific system of feeding. Any
one whrtt. uses this food will soon be
convinced of the soundness of the prin
ciple upon which it is manufactured and
may thereby know, the facts as to its
true worth.' Read "The Rosd to Well

Salem. Or; May 28.---Mayor Bodgers
again has notified fhe -saloons, through
the chief of police, that he intend the
strict regulation law shall be enforced.
8o - far but one saloon has compiled
with the ordinance requiring ,- open
fronts and no partitions and much cap
ital is being made from it by the antl
ealoon element in the campaign for
prohibition In Marlon county.
, The law has been In force, for sev
eral weeks and the saloons have taken
practically no steps to eomply with it
The anti-saloon people are therefore
urging that the saloons be voted out of
the city and county entirely, because
they have shown no disposition to com
ply with the strict regulation ordinance
demanded by the people of Salem and
passed nearly two months ago by the
council.' ' .
' Mayor Rodgera intimates that the
law will be enforced and "that prosecu
tions will be started at once against
those who have not made alterations
according to the specifications of the
new ordinance.

TO INVESTIGATE
EXPRESS RATES
State Kailroad Commission
Has Some Fancy Figures
to Start With. '
(Special D lap ten to Th Journal.)
Salem, Or., May 26. An investigation
has been started by the railroad .com
mission regarding express rates ., en
forced by the Wells, Fargo and the
Paclflo express companies In Qregon.
Some startling revelations have been
brought to light that will likely de
mand the attention of the commission
In the near future. '
Comparisons have been made showing
the relative eharares on lines in Oregon
and the charges in, other states for
similar distances and for the same
class of goads. From Portland to 81s-
Kiyou, a distance or 886 miles, tne
Wells-Fargo Express company charges
a merchandise rate of 12.75 for 100
Sounds, while for the same distance in
lissourl a rate has been established
by the Missouri railroad commission,
which is now In force, of f2 for 100
pounds. The ' merchandise rate in
Texas for a similar distance is $2.05.
. Sates East rrom Portland.
The rates charged by the Pacific Ex
press company are even more exorbitant
according tothe figures given out by
ine rauroaa commission. The ractria
Express company operates out of Port
land east - over the O. R. A N.. For
440 miles over the O. R. A N., from
Portland to. Huntington, the general
merchandise rate for 100 pounds is 14.
For 35S miles, or the same distance for
which the Wells-Fargo charges J 2.75
In western Oregon, the Paclflo Express
company In eastern Oregon .charges
13.74. , ;
Compared with similar distances In
Missouri and Texas, the rates of the
Paclflo Express company are extreme.
For 440 miles in Missouri the general
merchandise express rate is 12.10 and
In Texas It Is 12.30. In both these
states the rates have been fixed by
railroad commissions and bave been ac
cepted by the express companies and
are now In force. The rates given are
for the same classes of goods In every
instance. .: -
Big Jump Beyond Tne DaUeai
" The rate charged by the Paclflo Ex
press company from ' Huntington to
Shanlko, which. Is on a branch line, is
$4.76. The distance Is 68 miles. The
rate for 400 miles In Texas Is but J2.05
and In Missouri only $2. considerably
less than one-half. The rates to points
on branch lines In Oregon are from 25
cents to 60 cents higher than for sim
ilar distances on the main lines.
An interesting point noticed la In
reference to the big Jumps In rates
that amount almost to discrimination
in some Instances. For Instance, the
rate charged by the Pacific Express
company to The Dalles from Portland
Is SO cents for 100 pounds, general mer
chandise rate. The rate charged by
mat company ior a similar amoont or
goods of exactly the same class to any
nolnt bevond The Iallea as far east
as Biggs is f 1.25, a Jump of over twice
the amount charged to The Dalles. If
goods are . to be shipped only five miles
beyond The Dalles the charge Is $1.26
uer 100 nounda. while If the same arimrla
are to be shipped to The Dalles the
charge Is but 60 cents. .-,.
